I'll say this..

If Paul Maurice somehow pulls Florida back together to get the W in game 7, he's a first ballot HHOFer

And if EDM wins.. man it would suck to be Jay Woodcroft

Not really, Florida is a great team and it's a winner take all game with Florida at home. They could easily win if they finally get a couple lucky breaks and/or score first. When the Panthers have the lead by midway through the game, and especially going into the 3rd, they are dominant.

I was a big Woodcroft fan but he wouldn’t have made the Pickard switch in the Van series and the Oil probably would’ve been out in the 2nd round

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Florida is done. Bobrovsky has turned into a pumpkin

He’ll never win them anything

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Greatest Choke of All Time & Greatest Comeback of All Time!!

Woodcroft cost the oilers the series last year vs the knights by not pulling skinner

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Florida has to bring in a sports psychologist or some meditation guru before game 7 at this point I think.

 

[tabness]

Honestly thought I would be more psyched for this game and game 7 but the scheduling delays are completely destroying the momentum of this series, missed the early part of the game and when I turned it on Oilers already took a 1-0 lead and you just sorta knew the result of the game then, it simply wasn't as exciting as game 5 or even game 4 despite that being a massive blowout.

Doesn't help that Keith Tkachuk was absolutely right that the Panthers are a bunch of p***yes lol I hope these guys at least go back to the classic uniform for game 7, win or choke in style at least

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Meh EDM would not be in this position with Woodcroft. That guy was in way over his head the day he was hired.

Woodcroft is the pujularvi of coaches

Put yourself in his shoes tho. After having such great success with this team there's no way your not thinking this could've been you.

And tbf I think the turnaround was more McDavid getting healthy & the players pulling it together, tho I agree Knoblauch has made some difference making decisions in the playoffs.

Not really, Florida is a great team and it's a winner take all game with Florida at home. They could easily win if they finally get a couple lucky breaks and/or score first. When the Panthers have the lead by midway through the game, and especially going into the 3rd, they are dominant.

But this is the toughest challenge of Maurice's career, and it's the coaches job to get the players ready to play.

I didn't think they started as confidently tonight as they did in game 5, if he can find something to give them a spark that would be big. I do agree them scoring first will be massive.

Panthers the last 3 game resemble this new redesigned logo

 

[BMOK33]

Sort of like Maurice calling out Knoblauch for the idiocy of that challenge. That was really a dumb decision even if it was correct

 

[Muffin]

The better goalie has won every game this series. Only chance Florida has in game 7 is if Bob gets his head out of his ass.

 

[Frank Drebin]

What's the risk in that call?

Worst case scenario there is the Oilers kill a penalty. No big deal. They been doing it all playoffs and series.

 

[Hire Sather]

I'm rooting for Edmonton but hopefully a call like tonight will help get offsides review out of the game.

I've said it a hundred times it's the worst rule in sports. A goal should not be called back for fractions of an inch on a bang bang play like that.

It just kills the momentum of a game, it's not what the rule was meant for. Hockey is too fast for offsides to be one hundred percent correct all the time and that's ok.

 

[BMOK33]

What's the risk in that call?

That the game is 2-2 a minute later if it’s not overturned. I definitely take the 2-1 game and just be happy with it

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Lol what

 

[CashMash]

@snag what did I say about us "still being ahead"?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Woodcroft probably doesn't even do the Broberg move in the Stars series and what Knoblauch did tonight with Foegle after 2 good wins and it paid dividends. I was very skeptical of the Knoblauch hire because the Oilers PDO stats were in the trash with Skinner starting off the season horrendous. But yeah, Knoblauch has been tremendous this playoffs, he deserves his flowers for the Oilers getting back in this series just as much as the players

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Zombie Oilers has been the theme of the season.

Why not one more win. Why f***ing not.

 

[5 Minute Major]

This has to be the most anticipated game 7 Stanley Cup final in league history.

No NHL or big 4 league team has comeback in the 4th round down 3-0.

The Oilers have absolutely dominated since being down 3-0.

No Canadian team has won the Cup for 30 years.

The NFL doesn’t play series but the Patriots being down 28-3 with a quarter and a half of football left in the Super Bowl and winning is just as impressive if not more.

 

[Frank Drebin]

What?

 

[BMOK33]

Lol what

He basically said if you gave him 1,000 chances to challenge that if that was an Edmonton goal against Florida that 1,000 out of 1,000 he doesn’t challenge

 

[UpHere]

I blame koulias (sp?) on nhl radio - he said something was bound to happen with the calls

 

[Oilslick941611]

No shot IMO but what do I know.

Knowing Connor i bet he hands it to nurse because of all the heat he’s taking this series from the fans and media.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Florida is done. Bobrovsky has turned into a pumpkin

He’ll never win them anything

He could easily win a Gagarin Cup if he goes to a good KHL team.
